EPL: Paul Ince reveals three players that are not supposed to be in Man United
Former
Manchester United midfielder, Paul Ince has revealed three players that are not
good enough to be at the club.
According to
Ince, the likes of Chris Smalling, Luke Shaw and Jesse Lingard are not supposed
to be in manager, Jose Mourinho’s side.
Ince stated
this following United’s 3-1 defeat by Liverpool in the Premier League encounter
on Sunday.
Goals from
Sadio Mane (1), Xherdan Shaqiri (2) gave Jurgen Klopp’s men all three points
against United at Anfield as Jesse Lingard’s goal was not enough to give
Mourinho’s men a point against the hosts.
“When
players like Chris Smalling, Luke Shaw and Jesse Lingard are getting long-term
contracts, it shows how backward they are going,” Ince told Paddy Power.
“Give them
two or three-year contracts to keep them hungry, but don’t spoil them when they
aren’t good enough for the club anyway.
“A
resounding issue at the club is that there are far too many players who aren’t
fit to wear the shirt. Something has got to give,” Ince added.
“I’m not one
to call for Jose Mourinho’s head, but something urgently needs to change. The
board need to decide whether they’re going to pay him off or give him more
money for players.
“The other
option is to just scrap it all and start again. From a football point of view,
the whole club is a mess.
“It’s hard
to bring in eight or nine players, and to get rid of a load, but I honestly
believe that’s what they need to do to start again. Otherwise, how far are you
going to let the team slip behind everyone else?”
